2. Trim the artichokes by cutting off the stems and the top third of the leaves. Remove the small leaves at the base and snip off the sharp tips of the remaining leaves.
3. Boil the artichokes in a large pot of salted water for about 15 minutes until they are just tender. Drain and let cool.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
5. Gently pull apart the artichoke leaves and stuff the breadcrumb mixture between them.
6. Place the stuffed artichokes in a baking dish, drizzle with a little more olive oil, and bake for about 30 minutes until the tops are golden brown.
